The Project

The Last Bite is a a micro-budget experimental – full art-house – drama film by Sebastiano Pupino. In 2016 he directed Gadget ( Watch it here! ), a sci-fi revolving around our increasing addiction to technology which was an amazing success. Gadget premiere has been held at 42nd Boston Sci-fi Film Festival and screened in many others ( Phoenix Film Festival, Philip K. Dick Film Festival, etc. ).

The Last Bite revolves around Carlos, a 3D artist stranded in London. Carlos struggles between the difficulties of modern human relationships and the unavoidable ghosts from his past. Everything changes when Carlos meets Veronica, a woman not properly coming from our world…

The Last Bite is an art-house feature film – although there’s a clear story line with a strong main character, most of the film is heavily experimental and will involve amazing VFX created by Emanuele Serra.

Sometimes a modern drama, sometimes a surrealist film – The Last Bite will try to answer some questions about why we do the things that we do.

Creativity, inspiration and improvisation are the keywords for the entire production.

We would like to create something different from the mainstream market and produce an art piece which will eventually be featured in high-profile film festivals.
